SEMINAR 2018 AGENDA

DAY 0

Training Workshop (Half Day)

Need a produced water refresher?Do you want to build on your foundation of the fundamentals of produced water technologies?How does today’s low-cost environment affect produced water management?

This half-day Produced Water workshop consists of two parts: unconventional and conventional. Topics include best practices for shale operations as well as conventional and offshore produced water treatment. The first half of the course, conducted by John Walsh and Kris Bansal, provides an overview of produced water management and a look at critical issues related to sourcing, reusing, recycling, and disposing of water in shale operations.

This segment brings knowledge from field experiences, practical issues, and field performance of equipment. Beginning with a general description of fluid characteristics, the unique features of hydraulic fracturing fluids are given and compared to those of conventional oil & gas as well as fluids from other industries.

Unconventional Topics Include:

– Bacterial and scaling control

– Pre-treatment and desalination

– Why certain technologies work well and others do not

– Which technologies are suitable for which kind of fluid

– Costs to use various technologies at well sites, well pads and clusters, and in centralized facilities

– Lessons learned and best practices are presented for essentially all phases of the water management life cycle

The second half of the course, conducted by Wally Georgie and James Robinson, provides an overview of traditional produced water treatment (onshore and offshore). The discussion will revolve around produced water issues in conventional produced water systems and if today’s low-cost environment changes the questions/answers. Can an issue be solved by adding more produced water technology? Is it best to look at an alternative technology only or does it require a better holistic understanding of the whole system?

Conventional Topics Include:

– Operational Best Practices

– Cost Reduction Opportunities

– New & Developing Technologies

– Operational Challenges

– Produced Water Reuse

– Characterization of oil/water/gas for treatment

– Equipment selection and performance

– Process engineering and process line-ups

– Chemical treating

– Operations, monitoring, surveillance & troubleshooting

Whether one is looking at the unconventional or conventional market, the desired outcomes are the same: reducing operation and capital expenditures, mitigating risk, while also complying with changing regulatory requirements and environmental concerns. Understanding and prioritizing water management is key for all exploration & production operators.

Join this group and workshop leaders to explore and learn from this experienced produced water network.
